BEST COOP GAMES OF ALL TIME

So here we are presenting you the list of the best coop games of all time. Note that we have excluded the crown jewels of the coop games that are COD MW, MINECRAFT. Also the games here shown are not in a particular order.

Don’t Starve / Don’t Starve Together

Type : Local and Online

Don’t Starve is a survival game by the Canadian development team Klei Entertainment. In it, the player takes on the role of explorer and gentleman Wilson, who was lured into a trap by a demon and taken to a mysterious world. Wilson has to learn to use the resources around him and to cope with the people of this world to find a way home.

Don’t Starve Together is a standalone multiplayer expansion of the survival game Don’t Starve which is one of the best coop games. Again, players have to survive in a mysterious world full of strange creatures and dangers. However, this time it is possible to face the challenge together with other players (either online or in local split-screen mode). However, there is still the option to explore the foreign world on your own.’

Left 4 Dead

Type : Online

In the co-op shooter Left 4 Dead you slip alone with clever bots or up to three friends into the skin of the rest of humanity immune to the infection. Your goal is simple in a total of four scenarios (hospital, farm, suburb and airfield): get an escape vehicle. On the way there, however, not only hundreds of normal infected people but also five grotesquely mutated boss monsters want to hit your throat. The special thing about this: the beasts appear somewhere else in each game – in the test we have not seen a zombie constellation twice.

You are always equipped for all ambushes with pistols, shotguns, hunting and assault rifles as well as pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails – but whoever goes off alone dies. If you are overwhelmed by a horde of infected people, hooked on the floor by a “hunter” or caught by the lasso tongue of a “smoker”, only your comrades can help you get back on your feet. Communication is therefore mandatory in Left 4 Dead. Your characters automatically shout loud warnings about approaching boss monsters, but a headset for Xbox LIVE games helps immensely.

Since a virus had turned the earth’s population into bloodthirsty monsters two weeks earlier, the quartet has been primarily concerned with not falling prey to the nimble creatures. So there is not much left of humanity – and there is only salvation for those who work together. hands down one of the best coop games in the shooter category.

Developer Valve (Half-Life 2) sends four players into co-op against zombies. Left 4 Dead can also be played alone with AI comrades, but the program only develops its full potential with real players. In Versus mode, four boss zombie types can also be adopted by players. While people have to flee, the zombies, like their AI colleagues, work in pure co-op to prevent this. If you want to play Left 4 Dead online, you should get a headset, because without a roar of warning and cheering it’s half the fun.

Deep Rock Galactic

Type : Online

Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op shooter for up to four players, which can also be soloed with an AI companion. In a team of up to four space dwarves, players work their way through huge, randomly generated cave systems in search of raw materials. For example, it is necessary to mine the rare morkite or to retrieve huge pearls.

Lots of aggressive alien beetles and deadly traps make the search for resources a dangerous undertaking. There are four different classes to choose from: the Gunner carries heavy equipment to fight opponents, the Navigator scouts the surroundings and provides light in the dark, the Driller quickly pierces the rock and the Engineer builds turrets and other useful structures.

A special feature of Deep Rock Galactic are the freely destructible levels, through which you can blast, dig or drill your way according to your mood. The four dwarfs have many weapons and gadgets that can interact with the environment. Flamethrowers melt ice, the players use a cable car cannon to bridge deep abysses and light arrows ensure sufficient visibility. For missions completed and minerals collected, you can buy upgrades between missions and thus accept more difficult orders.

Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes

Type : Local, VR

This game is one of the best coop games in the Virtual Reality category.

The multiplayer puzzle game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes puts a player in the role of a bomb defuser using a virtual reality headset. Only he can see the bomb and only he can manipulate it. Another player or several give him tips on instructions, which in turn the first player cannot see. The increasingly difficult and complex tasks can only be solved with teamwork.

Warframe

Type : Online, Free to Play

Warframe is a Free2Play shooter with sci-fi setting from the developer Digital Extremes. From a 3rd person view, the players control their characters, which are in the eponymous warframes, futuristic combat suits, which provide the basis for the classes of the shooter and therefore each have different skills.

The developers describe their warframes as a kind of futuristic space ninja, so there are also sword fighting attacks. Warframe focuses on co-op missions for up to four players. At the same time, there are also PvP battles. Outside of missions, players move around on their own spaceship, from which they start new missions or buy new equipment. If you want, you can also make yourself popular with one of the numerous factions in the universe by fighting for this faction. One of the best coop games in fantasy shooter.

To the story: Warriors of the Tenno race, who had been in cryosleep for years, are awakened to fight against the troops of the Grineer Empire. The advantage of the Tenno: They are masters in handling the powerful Warframe combat suits. Both factions descend from humans, but the Grineers, who now control all sectors of the solar system, are at risk of genetic deterioration and hateful through excessive cloning.

They see it as their job to wipe out the Tenno. The Tenno themselves now lack their cultural memory, which is why some view them only as self-serving mercenaries, but not as noble warriors. They are woken up in a war they don’t know. In addition to the grineer, there are two other factions, one of them the corpus, which attack with combat robots. Over the years, Warframe has received valuable content updates, including the excellent Plains of Eidolon and more recently Fortuna. With the latter, the game earned the Gold Award. To date, you can play Warframe for free.

Payday 2

Type : Online

Since Left 4 Dead, we haven’t played a co-op shooter that works so well in a well-coordinated group. There is a lot of excitement at Payday 2, regardless of whether we spy on the site with buddies and try to carry out the attack completely silently, or we deliver a wild shootout with special forces and at the same time try to escape with as much loot as possible.

The many missions and unlockable extras also offer enough food for many hours of raiding pleasure. But we have one request: never, never start solo mode! It will just annoy you. One of the best coop games in realistic shooter category.

Borderlands 3

Type : Online, Campaign

Borderlands 3 is the fifth game in the Borderlands universe and number three in the main shooter series. A few years after the second part, a mad bandit cult, the Children of the Vault, rises on Pandora, led by the siblings Troy and Tyreen Calypso.

We face them with one of four new heroes: a shooter who creates holograms of himself, a beast-tamer, our own siren and a soldier with a ‘Mech. Even a co-op partner can ride on their fighting machine! In addition to tons of new weapons and vehicles, Borderlands 3 will also offer new worlds for the first time: We leave Pandora and Elpis and travel to other planets.

But as great as the action and the weapons are, the humor of the series is starting to wear out. The authors often make things too easy for themselves and fill the quests with uninspired jokes about things that only eighth graders can find really funny. Fortunately, the clever spirit of the series still appears every now and then and at the best moments, Borderlands 3 plays like a parody of itself and other RPGs and shooters. Hands Down One of the best coop games in the FPS category.

Cuphead

Type : Online and Local

Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game that focuses heavily on boss fights. Inspired by cartoons from the 1930s, visuals and audio are elaborately designed using the same techniques of the era, I.E with traditional hand-drawn animations, water color backgrounds and original jazz recordings.

If you want to make the game a little easier, you can either set the level of difficulty to “simple” before each fight, or on the other hand get a friend in the local co-op. So the bosses can endure a little more, but should one of the players die, the other has a short time window to revive him.

However, caution is required when choosing the simple level of difficulty. This makes the bosses a little more vulnerable to damage and takes some of their strongest attacks out of the game, but you don’t make any progress with them. This mode is therefore only suitable for practicing the boss.

One of the best coop games in ARCADE CATEGORY.

Far Cry 5

Type : Online Co-Op

Far Cry 5 is a first person shooter in an open world and takes place in fictional Hope County in the US state of Montana. The campaign can be experienced in solo or two-player co-op, but only the main player saves the progress of the mission. The player takes on the role of a young sheriff (male or female) who is new to the region, while the religious fanatic Joseph Seed, who calls himself a father and leads the sect The Project at Eden’s Gate, seals off the region with violence.

As in Far Cry Primal, you can let dangerous animals like a bear, a dog or a wildcat fight for you – but there are also many human AI companions who help out with their special skills. For the first time, air combat in real aircraft is also possible. Otherwise there are also plenty of normal cars that fit into the region, including many off-road vehicles. In addition, the level editor from Far Cry 3 returns in a significantly expanded form called Far Cry Arcade. Also new are some melee weapons, such as the sledgehammer.

In addition, there is no longer a minimap, but an optional compass at the top of the screen. The game world, divided into three areas, can be freely explored and the order of the areas can be freely selected. Each area must be liberated and the respective boss of the region must be defeated – a member of the seed family – before the fight against leader Joseph is unlocked.

Destiny 2

Type : Online

Destiny 2 is the sequel to the online shooter Destiny (2014), which again comes from the Halo creators Bungie and offers PvP and PvE elements. The science fiction scenario settles after the first part: the cabal attack the last city and thus the last fortress of the people against the dark.

In addition to the last city, there are other unexplored locations in the solar system, as well as new weapons and skills.
